Question

A plane travels from Pittsburgh to Cleveland in 2 hours.it maintains an average speed of 100 miles per hour.how far apart are these cities?

Answer 1

The distance between Pittsburgh and Cleveland is 200 miles

Solution:

Given that,

Plane travels from Pittsburgh to Cleveland in 2 hours

Average speed of plane = 100 miles per hour

To find: Distance between these two cities

The relation between speed distance and time is given as:

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

On rearranging the above formula, we get

$distance = speed \times time$

Distance between these two cities = $100 \frac{miles}{hour} \times 2 hour$

$Distance = 200 miles$

Thus both the cities are 200 miles apart
